Abstract:

All maximal finite (absolutely) irreducible subgroups of $GL(8,{\mathbf {Z}})$ are determined up to Z-equivalence. Moreover, we present a full set of representatives of the Z-classes of the maximal finite irreducible subgroups of $GL(n,{\mathbf {Z}})$ for $n \leqslant 9$ by listing generators of the groups, the corresponding quadratic forms fixed by these groups, and the shortest vectors of these forms.
